Why Flat Rate Prenup Services Make More Sense Than Hourly Billing

When couples start looking into prenuptial agreements, cost is often the first concern. Attorneys typically bill by the hour, and with rates ranging from $400 to $800 per hour in major cities, that cost can quickly add up.

That’s why more couples are searching for a flat rate prenup service: a clear, upfront price without the anxiety of runaway legal bills.

Learn more about the advantages of a flat rate prenup compared to the hourly billing model below.

The Problem With Hourly Rates

Prenups are rarely one-and-done documents. Attorneys need to:

• Review each partner’s financial disclosure.
• Draft terms that meet state-specific requirements.
• Revise after both partners (and their lawyers) provide feedback.

With hourly billing, every phone call, email, or revision adds to the final cost. What starts as a $5,000 estimate can easily double if negotiations take longer than expected.

How Flat Rate Prenup Services Work

A flat rate prenup service charges a single, transparent fee for the entire process. No retainers, no surprise invoices. That fee usually covers:

• Drafting the initial agreement.
• Legal review and revisions for both partners.
• Ensuring the prenup meets enforceability standards in your state.

Couples know exactly what they’re paying from the start. This predictability removes a major source of stress and allows them to focus on aligning with their partner rather than worrying about billable hours.

Value Beyond Cost Savings

Flat rate pricing isn’t just about saving money. It also creates a better experience:

• Clarity. You can budget with confidence, without “meter-running” anxiety.
• Fairness. Both partners get equal representation and attention without worrying about one side running up costs.
• Efficiency. Attorneys can focus on providing thoughtful guidance, not tracking billable minutes.

The result is a prenup process that feels collaborative instead of adversarial.
